there are gays in prison - they tend to keep to themselves.

Andy Dufresne: I don't suppose it would help if I told them that I'm not homosexual.
Red: Neither are they. You have to be human first. They don't qualify.

Shame there was no mobile phone when she was driving

Agreed - not a hardened criminal and will have to live with what she has done for the rest of her life. In cases like this I would like to see the offender having to undertake some sort of service such as giving talks about the dangers of texting and driving as part of their sentence. We must not forget that an innocent man lost his life because of this woman not paying attention whilst driving.

Which will probably end up being 18 months.

I was surprised it was such a short sentence. Then realised her victim was Romanian. Lucky for her or the sentence would have been alot longer.

That is inappropriate even in General.

Alas texting would only be classed as an Intermediate Culpability so the most the can get is 4.5 years, given they pleaded guilty a third of the sentence would be taken off leaving three years
